	Quoth the raven, "Eat my shorts!"

	"Nevermore" in the title should be lowercase and in quotations.

	I love this poem.

	I smacked myself in the head when I saw that I missed "Lenore."

	this is one of my fave poems

	chanman:	Nov 7th, 2009 at 01:31 GMT	1 point
	damnit. I guessed "Forevermore", completely sure it was in the poem, typing it in on at least three separate occasions. and what pops up as an answer? 'evermore'. Grrr.

	D'oh. Very unhappy that I missed one, but it's only used once. I love Poe. His essay on how he allegedly came up with The Raven is pretty interesting from a literature nerd standpoint.

	I used to have this memorized. So, not anymore.

	I tried to memorize this in high school, only made it as far as "explore"

	more counts along with nevermore, but not evermore?

	VILLIANS! TIS THE BEATING OF HIS HIDEOUS HEART!

	o sorry thats the tell-tale heart

	Apperently Poe originally wanted to use a parrot. Atleast thats what my Lit. book tells me

	I read that essay too, I think it's a bunch of bogus, but it's interesting nonetheless. Quoth the server: "404"

	I had this essay memorized for a public speaking class... but quoth this quiz, "not anymore."

	Do you think Poe went through the same thought process as Sporclers who don't know the poem - "Hmm, what else rhymes? Chore? Spore? Ooh, adore!"?

	bubble:	Nov 12th, 2009 at 23:53 GMT	1 point
	I know Poe used it as a rhyme in the poem, but "o'er" is not an actual rhyme of any of the words listed here. It is a slant rhyme at best. For it to be a rhyme, "o'er" would have be pronounced like "ore."

	I couldn't get The End of the Raven, by Poe's cat, as discovered by Henry Beard in Poetry for Cats, out of my mind. One night as the rain was slanting I awakened to the ranting of the man I catch mice for...
